Capture more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using meat as bait was too slow; he considered switching tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for a moment, Garos noticed the earth spider he had just subdued — its earth-brown abdomen still glowed faintly red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His inherited knowledge told him this meant it was a female, currently in the phase receptive to mating with males, capable of emitting corresponding pheromones to attract them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why inherited knowledge included this detail:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could only say dragonkind had broad interests; at least one of Garos’s dragon ancestors had taken a keen interest in earth spiders, hence the knowledge had been preserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female spider lay calmly on the ground, radiating a scent that drove male spiders into a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, one male spider arrived, drawn by the odor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the male spider did not get what it wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it rushed forward, the Red Iron Dragon, acting like a fisherman enforcing the law, seized it, beat it mercilessly, then bribed it — replicating the same method to subdue it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The character ‘lust’ carries a blade above it — poor spiders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos sighed, then continued his fishing enforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos now commanded a group of earth spiders — forty-three in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forty-two males, one female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All male spiders were dispatched to a small black oil field occupied by dwarves, tasked with harvesting black oil, while the female remained at Iron Cedar Hill, fed and cared for directly, spared from danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this did not mean the female had no duties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides continuing to attract other earth spiders, she was also charged with calming and motivating the males.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When subduing the males, Garos had made a promise:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Any male that brought back black oil would earn one opportunity to mate with the female.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such low-intelligence beasts, the desire to reproduce outweighed all else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by their instinctual urge to breed, the male spiders marched boldly underground and departed, while Garos silently awaited their triumphant return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several days later, Iron Cedar Hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samantha spat out a fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball struck Garos, exploding into brilliant flames, blasting off his last remaining buffer scales and revealing his black-red, steel-cast scales beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the dry, burning ache in his throat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough? I’m already tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samantha panted, asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep going — this is just the beginning. Is your stamina worse than Mober’s?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos urged mercilessly, employing provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Mober the Earth Storm Bear resting against an iron cedar on the other side, Samantha’s competitive spirit flared; she ground her teeth and said, “You asked for it — I’m going all out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samantha drew a deep breath, her chest swelling, dark red hues like molten lava appearing between her scales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brilliant flame formed between her interlocking dragon fangs, churning within her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inferno Dragon Breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ambient temperature rose invisibly, building for several seconds before a dazzling, magma-condensed red fireball shot from Samantha’s mouth, hurtling straight at Garos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball filled his vision as it raced toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos did not dodge or retreat — he straightened his chest and absorbed the blow with his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful shockwave erupted, flames and airwaves spreading outward, blasting a massive crater and charred earth into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red dragons’ attacks were famed for their devastating power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Samantha’s fully charged assault, Garos could not avoid being blasted away, his body smashing through several iron cedars before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up and looking down, he saw his thick black-red scales on the chest sunken inward, cracks radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that’s a real hit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the pain in his chest, Garos was not angry — he was delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samantha’s other attacks were meaningless; they never satisfied him. This one, however, was worthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again. I’ll stand still and let you attack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Samantha, eager and excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Samantha had collapsed on the ground like a pile of mud — the Inferno Dragon Breath had drained her last strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Garos, you’re… becoming… more and more… monstrous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Samantha panted, tongue lolling, speaking in broken gasps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Garos was still unsatisfied; he turned to Mober the Earth Storm Bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mober shut his eyes and pretended to be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been Samantha’s previous sparring partner; he hadn’t recovered yet. Though the target was Garos, it was always he who ended up aching all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still unsatisfied, Garos soared into the sky, found a barren hill and open ground, and repeatedly slammed into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearby wild beasts stared in terror at the dragon mindlessly crashing into mountains and earth, fleeing hastily to avoid being caught in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard granite shattered under the impact of Garos’s dragon horns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After further training,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garos stepped out of the “cave” he had carved, shaking off dust and broken rocks — still not fully satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body grew stronger, ordinary training no longer yielded sufficient results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this small barren hill — he had nearly smashed through it — his scales had only developed cracks, not shattered outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ordinary hills and earth can no longer meet my training needs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need a better, more suitable environment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his dragon wings, stirring a gust that lifted dust from the ground; Garos pondered, preparing to return to Iron Cedar Hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dry, desert-sand-like dragon scent suddenly reached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes narrowed; Garos looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his line of sight,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon’s silhouette appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its scales glowed crimson, shimmering with metallic luster under the sun; a pair of spiral horns, resembling ram’s horns, extended from its forehead backward; copper-colored hardened scale-tendrils grew from neck to spine, fluttering in the wind; as it flew, its form resembled a crimson sandstorm sweeping across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Red Copper Dragon — a type of metal dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was flying straight toward Garos, its target clear — it had clearly detected Garos’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senselessly destroying innocent peaks and land — hmph! You’re a naturally evil hybrid of red and iron dragon. Today, this dragon shall show you the punishment of metal dragons!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Red Copper Dragon smelled Garos’s dragon scent, found him utterly distasteful, and felt a fierce urge to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1249,"2026-06-19T14:21:50.702Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6969c82a5a78c806ebc1b0e8de64a1babf7e7cf4a75f3f3e652e9d3c3a8d05de","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-29","toppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--chapter-27",101,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftoppling-the-entire-world-with-the-power-of-one--cover.jpg"]
